=School Segregation=

In the 1900s, black children recieved seperate and uneqeaul education. Blacks made up approximately 60% of the school population, however they received only 19% of the state's funds. In 1924, the Rosenwald fund rasied 1 million dollars to re-build school. Out of the 1 million dollars, African American schools got only $445,357 and the state refuse to supply them with equipment.By the mid 1930s there was still no change. The average black school in the soutern states had values at $36 dollars per black student. White pupils had values as high as $183 dollars. School segregation was awful for blacks. Black schools for children below the 5th grade were housed in churches and lodge rooms. They had one teacher. The state ofthen gave African Americans the shell of a building, which they had to finish themselves.With few skilled workers in the rural areas, and no funds for building supplies these schools met no standards for comfort or safety. In African american schools, they had no desk, not enough books for all students. They also barely had light, walls were falling apart, and their heat source was one heater. ClaireC
 * __Education of African Americans__**

During the 1920- 1930’s black children were teased by white people. They would stick out their tongues, call them names and the little children would hide behind their mothers and point at them. Black children rarely integrated, however a black child, Linda Brown wanted to go to an all white school. Her father was Reverend Oliver Brown and he didn’t want her walking six blocks every day to the black school, since they did not have access to buses. She would have to walk in rain and snow, while there was a school very close to wear she lived. Her father Oliver Brown talked to the principal of Sumner Elementary School and they had turned down his request because she was black. This led to the Brown vs. Board of Education case. The end result was they stated "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” It did not desegregate schools, however it was a big step toward the cival rights movement. However, years to come the Fourteeth Amendment prohibited schools from being segegated, which applied to all the staes Linda Brown, sits in the segregated school after being turned down by Sumner Elementary school. This symbolizes how black and white children were both amazed with eachother. MichelleF
 * __Treatment of African Americans__**

The white students treated them horribly. However it was not their choice to do so. There were many people that influenced the white children to disrespect the African American children. Their parents influenced them to not get involved with them and to tease them. Not just their parents but adults in general influenced white children. They were taught to not treat them with respect and to ignore them as if they were not important.

Sadly, African American children had little hope of attending college in the future. Since white people were so educated from college, it was very hard for them to get a good job. They were always competing against white people. The schools provided to African Americans ensured that many of them would spend their lives as poor laborers in the employment of whites. AlyssaA
